The annual fair of the Summit County Agricult- ural Society was held on Thursday and Friday of last week. They were festive days among the farmers of Summit, and such a congregating to- gether of the true nobility of our county-the toil- ing masses, whose brows are browned by heaven's sunlight, whose hands are hardened by honest toil, and whose hearts are softened by the kindlier sym- pathies of humanity-we have rarely seen. The turn-out was tremendous, exceeding largely, it is thought, that of last year. There was a perfect jam in and around the court house throughout each day, rendering it almost impossible to see many ob- jects of interest, and demonstrating the absolute necessity of erecting a suitable building for the fut- ure agricultural and mechanical exhibitions of the county. *

* Hon. Van R. Humphrey, of Hudson, delivered an address to the multitude, who were assembled in the court house inclosure for want of a building of sufficient capacity to re- ceive them. It was listened to with interest and profit, and was in keeping with the interest of the occasion. * * * It will afford much gratification to our citizens generally to learn that Col. Simeon Perkins, the President of the society, with a munifi- cence characteristic of the man, has donated to the society several acres south of Akron, admirably adapted for future exhibitions, the erection of suit- able buildings, etc., for the use of the society. A subscription was started for inelosing the ground, and we cannot permit ourselves to doubt the suc- cess of the laudable enterprise.

In the Beacon of November 26, 1851, is the official report of the annual meeting of the so- ciety for 1851, held in the court house Novem- ber 19. The officers elected for the ensuing year were as follows : President, Avery Spicer, of Coventry ; Vice President, Daniel Hine, of Tallmadge ; Secretary, Nathaniel W. Goodhue, of Middlebury ; Treasurer, Nelson B. Stone, of

Akron. Managers-Peter Voris, of Bath ; Thomas H. Goodwin, of Akron ; Isaac T. Wel- ton, of Richfield ; Samuel M. Combs, of Tall- madge ; Solomon Markham, of Green. A com- mittee of one from each township and village in the county was appointed "to solicit sub- scriptions to defray the expenses to be incurred during the coming year in the erection of suit- able buildings and fences and preparing other permanent fixtures for the use of the society." Among the proceedings of this meeting is found this highly commendable item :

Resolved, That this society will award no premi- ums on anything that will intoxicate.

At a meeting of the Directors, held at the court house, it was arranged that the fair for 1852 should be held on Wednesday and Thurs- day, October 6 and 7, at the court house, the new grounds donated by Col. Perkins not being yet fitted up. The premium list, as published in the Beacon of September 8, is about the same as in 1851, and the committees judi- ciously selected from every portion of the county. The court-room was used solely as a floral and fine-art department. A small admis- sion fee to this department was charged, the receipts being something over $100. The hall was occupied by a display of fashionable fur- niture, stoves, etc. On the north side of the building was erected a temporary frame struct- ure, forty by sixty feet, for the display of fancy work, mechanical products, farming im- plements, vegetables, fruits, etc. Horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, etc., were grouped, at con- venience of exhibitors, in various parts of the inclosure. In its editorial notice of this Third Annual Fair, the Beacon, of October 13, 1852, says : " It was attended by a larger number of persons, and, what is equally gratifying, the exhibition, taken as a whole, was, undoubtedly, * far in advance of its predecessors. * The gorgeous flower-tree, nearly ten feet high, blazing with dahlias of every conceivable slade, was a thing of beauty. *

* * From the garden of Hon. E. N. Sill, of Cuyahoga Falls, as also from the gardens of Col. Perkins and Mrs. Dodge, were some of the finest dahlias we have ever seen. A design of cut flowers of every variety, arranged by Mr. Thomas Wills, Mr. Sill's gardener, excited universal admiration. * * But one opinion was * expressed on one point, viz. : the necessity of the immediate erection of suitable buildings

for the agricultural fairs of Summit. It is folly to expend more on temporary buildings. If each township will move and select a good committee-man, as Tallmadge has done, the amount for the buildings, etc., may be raised in a fortnight. Col. Perkins is still ready to donate the use of six acres of land as the site. If the society does not take the work in hand, the Commissioners should do so." The annual address was delivered by Herman Canfield, Esq., of Medina. In their report, the officers of the society say : "The necessity of a perma- nent building is apparent to all. The officers of the society labor under much embarrass- ment, and all that is necessary is the co-opera- tion of each township, and the means requisite for inclosing six acres of ground and erecting a large and commodious building, can be raised. We hope that the importance of immediate attention to this matter will be borne in mind, and that measures will be taken immediately for raising whatever sum is necessary."

At the annual meeting of the society held at the court house in Akron, November 17, 1852, officers for the ensuing year were elected as fol- lows : President, Daniel Hine, of Tallmadge ; Vice President, Sylvester H. Thompson, of Ind- son ; Secretary, Nathaniel W. Goodhue, of Akron ; Treasurer, Nelson B. Stone, of Akron ; Directors, Talmon Beardsley, of Coventry ; Andrew Hale, of Bath ; William Payne, of Richfield ; Lucius W. Hitchcock, of Tallmadge ; Henry W. Howe, of Akron. A committee of one in each township was appointed to solicit funds to build permanent buildings for the use of the society.

The Beacon of September 7, 1853, editorially says : "The Board of Directors of the Summit County Agricultural Society have contracted for inclosing the new fair grounds of the society, the erection of a suitable hall for future exhi- bitions, etc. The work is to be completed by October 10; the expense to be paid mainly by subscriptions, the county doing its share." The grounds, six and a half acres, were substantially fenced, a building 40x100 feet was erected, and the grounds otherwise fitted up, at a total ex- pense of about $1,800, and the fourth annual fair was held there on Wednesday and Thurs- day October 12 and 13, 1853. Increased in- terest and attendance were manifested. A small entrance fee of 10 cents was charged, by which between $700 and $800 was realized, and,

though somewhat in debt on improvements, the society was at last firmly established on a sound financial basis.

The fifth annual meeting of the society was held at the court house on Wednesday, Novem- ber 16, 1853. Officers elected -- President, Daniel Hine, of Tallmadge; Vice President, James M. Hale, of Akron ; Secretary, Nathaniel W. Goodhue ; Treasurer, Nelson B. Stone ; Di- rectors, Talmon Beardsley, of Coventry ; Samuel M. Bronson, of Tallmadge ; Henry W. Howe, of Akron ; Ethan Alling, of Twinsburg; and Jeremiah B. Lambert, of Bath.

The fifth annual fair was held on the grounds of the society October 11 and 12, 1854. Though the season had been very dry, there was a very fine display of field and garden products, fruits, flowers, etc., and, while stock and other de- partments were quite largely represented, " Ladies' Equestrianship" was a prominent feature of this exhibition, and added very ma- terially to the interest as well as to the financial results of the fair. Receipts, $800.

The sixth annual meeting was held on the 22d day of November, 1854, at the court house, officers and Directors of previous year being re-elected.

The sixth annual fair was held October 3, 4 and 5, 1855. Yearly membership badges were sold at $1 each, and a gate fee of 10 cents was collected, the total receipts with ground rents being $903. Ladies' horsemanship, both driv- ing and equestrianism, was the chief attraction of the fair; premiums being awarded as fol- lows : Miss Harriet J. More, of Copley, $20 ; Miss Anna E. Howe, of Akron, $15 ; Miss C. L. Stauffer, of Springfield, $10. A premium of $20, donated by spectators, was also awarded to Miss Cordelia Alden, of Medina, for her supe- rior equestrianism, the awards of the society be- ing confined to residents of the county. At this fair also every department in which pre- miums were offered was a success, both in point of number and quality of animals and articles exhibited.

At the seventh annual meeting held at the court house in Akron November 21, 1855, ofli- cers for the ensuing year were elected as fol- lows : President, Talmon Beardsley, of Cov- entry ; Vice President. Andrew Hale, of Bath ; Secretary, Henry W. Howe, of Akron ; Treas- urer, Charles B. Bernard. of Akron ; Directors, Win. B. Ashmun, of Tallmadge; Simon P. Starr,

Secretary Howe announces, in the Beacon of September 17, 1856, that the Summit County Agricultural Society have added to their list of premiums, to be awarded at their next an- nual fair, the following : " Fastest trotting horse owned within the county, $30 ; fastest trotting horse, under four years old, owned within the county, $20. A half-mile ring has been pre- pared, and a lively competition may be ex- pected." In a subsequent issue, Secretary Howe thus expatiates : "The farmers and mechanics of the county will remember that this is es- pecially their festival, while all the 'rest of mankind' intend to be there to join them. The list of premiums is large, the grounds are beautiful and convenient ; the contests, upon two days, between the fast trotting horses, will be spirited ; the ' ladies riding,' upon the last day of the fair, will attract all who love ' women and horses,' and the smiling faces of friends will everywhere greet those who are in attend- ance. * * Come all who delight in seeing the best of stock, the finest of fruits, grains and vegetables, who have a taste for the products of the 'gude housewife,' and can appreciate the value of churns and cultivators, carpets and carriages. Come all who can admire the beau- tiful in flowers, in needlework, in painting ; or can find pleasure in 'crowds of fair women and brave men,' expecting a rare entertainment, and you need not go away disappointed."

Of this, the Seventh Annual Fair, held on the 8th, 9th and 10th days of October, 1856, the Beacon concludes a lengthy and enthusiastic editorial as follows : "On the whole, we are satisfied that the Summit County Fair of 1856, not only surpassed all its former fairs, but, in point of numbers attending and of a substan- tial excellence of stock, grains, vegetables, me- chanical and artistic skill, and whatever else makes up the show, was beyond any county fair of Ohio or any other State. We feel con- fident that Summit is entitled to the premium. In this judgment, we are supported by the vol- untary expressions of many witnesses who were present from abroad." The receipts at this fair were $1,230.50, which, with receipts from county authorized by law, paid the entire indebtedness of the society, running expenses, premiums, balance due for buildings, etc., and left a surplus in the treasury of $224.73.

At the Eighth Annual Meeting, held No- vember 19, 1856, the following officers were elected : President, Talmon Beardsley, of Cov- entry ; Vice President, Andrew Hale, of Bath ; Secretary, Henry W. Howe, of Akron ; Treas- urer, Alvin C. Voris, of Akron ; Directors, Jo- seph Hawkins, of Twinsburg; William John- ston, of Copley; Lucius L. Strong, of Tallmadge ; Adam Yerrick, of Green ; John R. Buchtel, of Coventry.

Eighth Annual Fair held October 7, 8 and 9, 1857 .- Increased number of entries, increased interest and increased attendance ; nearly three columns in the Beacon of October 14 being devoted to an editorial review of the fair. At the Ninth Annual Meeting, held on the 18th of November, 1857, officers were elected as fol- lows : President, Samuel M. Combs, of Tall- madge ; Vice President, Andrew Hale, of Bath ; Secretary, Dudley Seward, of Akron ; Treas- urer, Alvin C. Voris, of Akron ; Directors, Avery Spicer, of Portage ; Lucius L. Strong, of Richfield ; William B. Ashmun, of Tall- madge ; Joseph Stauffer, of Green ; Horace P. Cannon, of Twinsburg.

Ninth Annual Fair, October 6, 7 and 8, 1858. -The crowd upon and about the little six-acre inclosure, with the teams of visitors and ani- mals for exhibition, produced, according to the local reporter, " a perfect jam," and the cry for larger grounds was universal. Total entries for premiums, 965, as follows : Cattle, 105; horses, 152; sheep, 48; swine, 10; poultry, 19 ; grain and seeds, 64; fruits, 40 ; garden products, 154; field crops, 9; butter, cheese and sugar, 51 ; farm implements, 30 ; domestic productions, 124 ; flowers and shrubbery, 44 ; carriages and harness, 17 ; boots, shoes, etc., 10; bonnets, etc., 7; fine arts, 17; iron and tin ware, 7; miscellaneous, 45 ; female eques- trians, 6. Total receipts, $1,350.

At the Tenth Annual meeting, November 17, 1858, the following officers were elected : Presi- dent, Samuel M. Combs, of Tallmadge ; Vice President, Horace P. Cannon, of Twinsburg ; Secretary, J. Park Alexander, of Akron ; Treas- urer, John R. Buchtel, of Akron. Directors- Avery Spicer, of Portage ; Lucius L. Strong, of Richfield; Lewis Alling, of Twinsburg; Ed- win Upson, of Tallmadge ; Charles Coe, of Norton. At this meeting, the question of pro- curing other and more extensive grounds was discussed, and an adjourned meeting for the

201

further consideration of the subject was held at the office of Edgerton & Sanders, in Akron, January 8, 1859. At this meeting, President Combs, Vice President Cannon and Treasurer Buchtel " were appointed a committee to re ceive sealed proposals from any of the town- ships within the county for the site of fair grounds, and that such proposals be established by approved security for the amount sub- scribed. The attention of those interested is solicited. Proposals to be handed to Mr. Buch- tel by October 29."

Of this action, the Beacon of January 12, 1859, editorially, says : " The citizens of Cuya- hoga Falls, we are informed, propose to give $6,000 for the permanent location of the fair grounds at or near that village. The question is of importance to local interests as well as to those of the society itself. The latter will be, we doubt not, the governing consideration with those who will decide upon the matter. Other things being equal, the county seat would seem to be the proper location for a county society; but there is some plansibility in the claim that Cuyahoga Falls is more central, and, if the citi- zens of that village subscribe $6,000 in good faith for that purpose, they exhibit a high ap- preciation of the advantages of securing the annual fair as a permanent institution. W.e commend the consideration of this subject, in all its bearings, to the business men, property- holders and citizens of Akron, only observing that the competition of the people of Cuyahoga Falls is formidable and may be successful."

At an adjourned meeting, held January 29, 1859, the following proposal was submitted : " The society can have the present location of the fair grounds for $125 per acre by paying $150 down and $200 each January following, with 6 per cent annual interest, and that they can have more or less land south of the present grounds, in addition, at $80 per acre, or an ex- change on the opposite side of the road, acre for acre." This proposition was accepted by a vote of forty-nine in favor to ten against. At an adjourned meeting, held February 19, 1859, it was voted " to confine the society to the pres- ent location of the grounds."

Thus matters stood until late in the follow- ing summer. In the meantime, not only had the contiguous lands been sold to other parties, but there was a rapidly growing conviction in the public mind that the future success of the

society demanded both more room and a more eligible location than the old grounds afforded. So, too, in consequence of the differences of opinion which had obtained as to the matter of location, spirited rivalry had grown up, not only in the two " union " organizations in the north- east corner of the county, at Twinsburg, and the northwest corner of the county, at Rich- field, but in the spirited "union" association then being projected at Cuyahoga Falls. These considerations stimulated a number of the most active promoters of the society, in connection with the officers, to a combined and vigorous effort to the accomplishment of the desired change. At this juncture, our public-spirited fellow-citizen, Hon. David L. King, submitted a proposition, which, being at once accepted, placed the society in possession of Summit Grove-nearly thirty acres overlooking the city on the west-the beautiful grounds now oceu- pied by the fine residences of Lewis Miller, Esq., Capt. Arthur L. Conger, and others, on Ash street and Park place, and immediately east of the southern portion of the beautiful grounds of the Akron Rural Cemetery. This fine tract of land was leased to the society for five years, at a reasonable annual rental, Mr King stipulating to either sell the ground to the society, at a price to be named by him, or to pay the society for its buildings, fences, etc., at their appraised value, on the expiration of the lease.

Of these grounds, and the estimation in which they were held by the public, the follow- ing extracts from the Beacon, of September 7 and 14, 1859, abundantly testify :

The spot has been appropriately named Summit Grove. It is an elevated plateau, with sparse but large spreading oaks, of native growth, furnishing resting-place and shade, free from undergrowth. airy and dry ; in short, a natural park. * * * For the purpose of securing and inclosing this elegant piece of ground, erecting the proper buildings, and putting it in order for this and future fairs, the cit- izens of Akron, responsible business men, have con- tributed something more than $1,500. We have never seen so much energy on the part of com- mittees and citizens, in any public enterprise, as has been displayed in preparing the County Fair Grounds at Summit Grove. * * * Not in the East or the West has any society a location more inviting, etc., etc.

The buildings, fences, etc., from the old were removed to the new grounds, which, with the necessary additions, the erection of sheds, sta-

bles, pens, etc., the construction of a superb half-mile track, and other improvements, in- volved an expense of $3.128.60, of which amount $1,870.07 was contributed by the cit- izens of Akron, and $1,258.53 was paid by the society ; a large amount of labor, of men and teams, also being donated by the people of Akron and contiguous towns, in the fitting-up of the grounds.

From this time forward, the Summit County Fair became, emphatically, the Fair of Northern Ohio, not only drawing together, in annual " Harvest Home Festival," in October of cach year, the great mass of the people of Summit County. but attracting many visitors from con- tiguons counties, and even from the more re- mote portions of the State.

At the annual meeting of November 16, 1859, a new constitution was adopted increasing the number of directors from five to eighteen-one for each township. At this meeting, officers were elected as follows : President, Horace P. Canon, of Twinsburg ; Vice President, Will- iam Wise, of Green ; Secretary, James Mathews, of Akron ; Treasurer, John R. Buchtel, of Ak- ron. Directors : Bath, Andrew Hale ; Boston, Edmund H. Cole ; Coventry, William Buchtel ; Cuyahoga Falls, George Sackett ; Copley, Vin- cent G. Harris ; Franklin, Henry Dailey ; Green, George Crouse ; Hudson, Julius Pond ; Middle- bury, Charles A. Collins ; Northampton, Reese Jones ; Northfield, John C. Wallace ; Norton, Charles Coe ; Portage, Avery Spicer ; Rich- field, John E. Hurlbut ; Springfield, John Ewart ; Stow, Virgil M. Thompson ; Tallmadge, Clark Sackett; Twinsburg, Lewis Alling.

Resolutions were unanimously adopted ex- pressive of sorrow and condolence at the death of Capt. Amos Seward, of Tallmadge, the first President of the society under its written con- stitution. and one of its most enthusiastic sup- porters. Also a resolution tendering to the re- tiring Secretary, J. Park Alexander, the thanks of the society for his able and efficient services during the preceding year.

At the expiration of the time for which the grounds had been leased, Mr. King, pursuant to his agreement, submitted a proposition to the officers of the society, to sell them the entire tract for $5,000, on very easy terms of payment, stipulating only, that should the grounds ever cease to be used for fair purposes. they should revert back to him, his heirs, etc. This truly

munificent proposition, unfortunately for the society and the county, was not accepted, a portion of the management, comparing the price named with the value of farming lands less eligibly situated, and more remote from the city, not being able to appreciate the magnificent prize they were letting slip through their fingers until it was too late. The society now leased, for the period of ten years, of Mr. P. D. Hall, about thirty acres of land, covered by a fine grove of original forest trees, in the western part of the city, fronting on Maple street upon the south, and Balch street upon the west, and a short distance northwest of Akron Rural Ceme- tery. To these grounds was removed the build- ings, fences and fixtures from " Summit Grove," and others were added, trotting track graded, etc., at an expense of over $1,000 to the society, over and above the liberal contributions of both money and labor, from the citizens of Akron and surrounding townships. These grounds were first occupied by the society in October, 1864, the fair of that year not only proving a very great success, but being followed up with such increasing interest, year by year, that the management were enabled to accumulate a fund of several thousand dollars in the treasury of the society, with which to purchase grounds at the expiration of their ten years' lease. In the meantime, however, the rapid growth of the city of Akron had so enhanced the value of the grounds then occupied as to place them entirely beyond the reach of the society, while most of the lands adjacent to the city, suitable for fair purposes, had been taken up and improved, or were held so high as not to be within the sup- posed ability of the society to purchase.
